Songs that moms and kids can enjoy together

Family-friendly tunes

It can be difficult to find music for moms and kids to enjoy together. A lot of kids’ music can be too sweet, too repetitive or too grating for moms to tolerate for too long. Pop music can be inappropriate for a young audience.

This Katy Perry hit is a fun, catchy, upbeat song that moms and kids will love to sing along to in the car.

"The Edge of Glory"
